Bo it known that I. STANISMUS Il. SAUV, of Denver. in the county of Denver :mtl Stute of Colorado. have invented Certain new und useful l'lnprm'emenls` in Elnetromagnetitf Signnling Instruments; :intl I (lo hereh)y (lerlfire the following to he :l full. elem', :mtl exnet tlweript ion of the invention1 Such al?. will enable others Skilled in the :nrt to which it :ippertalins to nmlv'e :intl use the Same.

The prinmrv ohjerl ot this invention is' to provide Simple :intl highly etlnient means for prorlueing sounds nml nmlv'ingg Contact.C in electro-mrtgnetie` instruments; :1nd to fueilitnte and ('henpen the vost. of nmnufne ture of the latter. as well :is to refluee to n minimum the pnrts thereof.

The invention will he hereinafter fully Set forth und pnrtivnlnrlivv pointed ont in the claims.

Lila-wlw. various means may he employed for regu lnting the extent of the armature movement. My invention \\ill be first. described in Connection with telegraphiu inStruInentn.

In Fig'. l I have shown n coil l into which is passed a` post Q of iron or steel. suehpost extending approximately half way in the coil at the center thereof.
